Possible Bug with Pets and Careers
« on: November 06, 2011, 01:17:31 PM »
Hello everyone!

This is my first post on a forum I've been loitering on for some time.

I'm starting to experience a few unusual game play issues since I installed Pets. I was wondering if any of you had experienced them or new of a solution.
I know there are already a few glitches that have been reported, such as pets not adhering to the same laws of physics as sims and randomly walking through objects, walls and teleporting at whim to the outer edges of the map whenever they autonomously play in the bathtub.

However, has anyone else noticed that the ant farm doesn't seem to operate as intended. Sure, there are ants and they move but they don't make underground paths as in the picture in buy mode. This is just a silly little thing that doesn't trully affect my game play but I thought I'd ask.

My biggest issue is with the Athletics career which I've now tested on multiple games. My current Legacy heir is in the sports career. His athletics skill is maxed and super maxed.
He knows all three of his team mates and is at best friend status with each. He's also best friends with his boss. He uses the "prepare for game" option during all work hours and goes to the games one hour before they begin to warm up. He sets off to games with lovely clean clothes, lucky moodlet, exhilarating shower, great meal ...etc (you get the idea) and all motive bars firmly in the green so as you can imagine his mood bar is usually completly filled. (apart from the day his cat ate his pet bird... but that's another story)
He is yet to win a game. Of the 10 matches he's played in most have been lost with a score of 0-14 with the last two matches at 2-13 and 2-14. Before pets was installed, I've played the Athletics career and enjoyed some storming wins. Unfortunately, now I have a 4 star celeb with a horrific game history who gets publically boo-ed.

Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know of a solution? (short of uninstalling pets)

Thank you for your time and looking forward to any responses. :)

The ant farm does take a couple of sim weeks to work, mine took about 3 weeks for all the tunnels to form.

I've heard of the sport career bug before on here somewhere, hopefully EA will fix it soon.

The only 2 bugs that i've had with pets is, I was walking the dog and the lead happened to go sideways and then it froze. And that sometimes, when I get off horses my sims feet disappear into the ground so that my sim can't move.

The sports career was one of the first I used in Appaloosa Plains, and I had no problem whatsoever winning games, so this is a bug that doesn't affect everyone.

I have a little (or not so little) problem too. I created a horse ranch and moved my sim and her horses there, played them a few times and everything was great.
However, I took off and created another household and played them alright. I wanted to switch back to the original household (the sim with her horses) but after agreeing to the selection the game, I think, trys to zoom on it but is stuck in midair. The farm is still small and my sim and her horses are just dots. After that nothing works anymore. 
 
How can I play that household again?

Sounds like something got corrupted.  The only thing I could suggest is that from Edit Town, you select the household and save it to the library and then start a new game and insert them into the new game.

Okay ... that was actually possible. I'm currently building a new house because I didn't like the old one anymore. Hopefully I don't have to build all anew the next I want to play them.
